Hello Cookie Friday! Good to have you back! I know I should not pat my own shoulder (or however you say that in English) – but I really like my Cookie Friday. A lot! Hope you have a similar opinion about it ;) I love testing all those cookie recipes, regular ones and sometimes more adventurous flavor combinations – looking at my recipe notebook – there are much more in there to make for many Fridays to come ;)
Today’s cookies are nothing adventurous. Good ole cookies with oats, raisins and applesauce. Almost like an apple pie in shape of a cookie. Rich in flavors and soft. And because of the oats a tiny bit healthy I guess. Well at least that’s what I am telling myself every time I put oats in a bake ;P
If you like you can make the applesauce yourself of course. It’s not difficult and quickly done. Everybody else can use pre-made applesauce from the store of course – like I did. I had a glass at home that needed to be used… so grab some oats and you will have some delicious cookies for the weekend in no time – together with a cup of tea or coffee the best that can happen to you when it’s cold and wet outside.
INGREDIENTS / ZUTATEN
For the cookies:
1/4 cup (60g) butter, melted
1 cup (200g) brown sugar
1/2 cup (100g) applesauce
1 egg
1 1/4 cups (165g) all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
pinch of salt
1 1/2 cups (130g) rolled oats
1/2 cup (60g) raisins
For the glaze:
1 3/4 cups (230g) confectioner’s sugar
2 tbsp. maple syrup
2-3 tbsp. heavy cream
Für die Cookies:
60g Butter, geschmolzen
200g brauner Zucker
100g Apfelmus
1 Ei
165g Mehl (Type 405)
1/2 TL Natron
1/4 TL Backpulver
1/4 TL Zimt
Prise Salz
130g Haferflocken
60g Rosinen
Für die Glasur:
230g Puderzucker
2 EL Ahornsirup
2-3 EL Sahne
DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG
2. Mix the brown sugar and the melted butter in a large bowl until well combined. Add the apple sauce and the egg and mix well. Mix the flour with baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon and salt. Add together with the rolled oats to the bowl and mix in. Add the raisins and mix until all is well combined. Let sit for about 10 minutes, then scoop small batches of dough onto the baking sheet – leave enough space in between. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden and mostly firm. Take out of the oven and let cool down on the baking sheet until you can move them. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool down completely.
3. For the glaze mix the confectioner’s sugar with maply syrup and heavy cream until smooth. Drizzle over the cookies and let dry. Store in an airtight container.
2. Den braunen Zucker mit der geschmolzenen Butter in einer großen Schüssel miteinander verrühren. Das Apfelmus zusammen mit dem Ei zugeben und alles gut unterrühren. Mehl mit Natron, Backpulver, Zimt und Salz vermischen. Zusammen mit den Haferflocken zur Schüssel zugeben und alles gut verrühren. Rosinen zugeben und unterrühren. Den Teig für etwa 10 Minuten stehen lassen, dann mit einem Eisportionierer oder Eßlöffel kleine Portionen auf das Backblech setzen – dazwischen sollte genug Platz bleiben. Für 12-15 Minuten backen, bis die Cookies fast fest sind und eine goldene Farbe haben. Herausnehmen und erst auf dem Backblech etwas abkühlen lassen, dann auf ein Kuchengitter legen und komplett auskühlen lassen.
3. Für die Glasur den Puderzucker mit dem Ahornsirup und der Sahne glattrühren, die Cookies damit verzieren und dann trocknen lassen. In einem luftdichten Gefäß lagern.

Notes

I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake - for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers - and it seems they like it most of the time ;)
